Husband's Regrets: My Wife's Tears

Episode 70: Prayer from Abah

I heard that a guest from Bogor came. I want Nathan to come home quickly. After the cafe closed, Nathan immediately rushed to go home. While Mba Retno is still in the cafe. There's still work to be done.

Nathan stopped by the supermarket first. Buy food and drinks for the house. And apparently, his wife's pregnant milk is also gone. He did not forget to buy fresh fruit.

Arriving home, Nathan immediately greeted his two in-laws. Say hello to his brother-in-law. He did not expect the arrival of Abah and Umi to his house

"How are you, Nath?"

"Alhamdulillah well, Bah. How about Abah and Umi? Healthy right?"

"Thank God we are healthy."

"I took a shower, Bah. We'll have a chat!" he said, handing over all the groceries to his wife.

"I'll take a shower, baby!"

"Yes, Mum."

Michelle arranged the groceries the husband brought. There's milk too.

While waiting for her husband to take a bath, Michelle prepared a change of clothes for her husband on the bed. And pick up the dirty clothes lying just in the middle of the place.

"Darling, what time is Abah coming?" nathan asked who just came out of the bathroom.

"So afternoon. Four o'clock if not wrong!"

"Don't you tell me?"

"As it's work again, I don't want to interrupt, Mas!"

"Ih, Honey. This is Abah, so you have to tell me first! I don't feel good about Abah!"

"Yes, I'm sorry! Because I miss Abah and Umi so much, I forgot to tell Mas!" his bracelet.

"Ish, you are!" Nathan took his wife's nose.

After finishing bathing and praying, then the husband chatted a lot with in-laws. While his wife was busy chatting with Umi and Teh Siti in the upper room.

"Nath, how's your business progressing?"

"Alhamdulillah, Bah. Thanks to the prayers of Abah and Umi, Nathan managed to build a cafe. Hopefully the cafe has many customers and more advanced!"

"Amen. Good then! I'm glad to hear it!"

Abah took a long breath.

"Sure Kartono still can't accept you, Nath! Pakde's a stubborn man. If you already have a desire, then it cannot be contested! But, you don't have to worry. He just silenced Abah. At least if he needs money, he'll come back to talk to Abah!"

"I'm sorry Nathan, Bah. It was all Nathan's fault. All of these problems were originally from Nathan!"

"Alright, Nath. The important thing is that you want to change and admit your mistakes. That human's name must have been wrong. Even a knowledgeable person has mistakes. Especially those of us who are ordinary people! But Abah's message, Be a good husband to Michelle and a good father to your child-to-be. Equip your children with the knowledge of religion and the good deeds of both parents. God willing, your children become the children of Sholeh and Solehah!"

"Amin, Bah. Amen! Nathan hopes so too. Nathan's past was a very fruitful lesson. It was an experience that made Nathan a better human being!"

"good. Abah likes your spirit!"

"Yes, said Michelle, your house is for sale. The plan is are you guys gonna keep living here?"

"No, Bah. Nathan plans to build a house on Dad's property. It's just, Nathan's still saving up, Bah!"

"Nath, this is for you!" Abah put an ATM to the table.

"What is this, Bah?"

"This is for you and Michelle. This is Abah and Umi's savings for you!"

"Ah, Don't you, Bah! Abah save it for the old days of Abah and Umi!" reject Nathan.

"Nathan, accept all this. This is all Abah can give you. During this time, the income of plantations and rice fields. The family always enjoyed it. Quietly, Abah saved for you, Siti and Ratna!"

"But, Bah. Nathan really doesn't need it. Let this be Abah and Umi's savings!"

"Nathan, please accept this! Don't refuse, or Abah will be angry! Abah loves you all very much. In a moment, you'll need a lot of money for Michelle's birth. And you're not going to stay in your parents' house, are you?"

"Yes, Bah!"

"Please don't refuse!"

"Thank you very much, Bah! Thanks!" many times Nathan kissed the back of the old man's hand.

Touched, Nathan must have been very moved. Nathan was thankful that God turned the hearts of men upside down. Once, Abah defied himself back into the arms of his wife. Now Abah is a parent who loves his children very much.

..."O Allah, thank You for the guidance You gave Abah. You have opened the eyes of Abah's heart. May he be given health until his grandchildren are born, O Rabb. Most Protective and All-Powerful. Amen."...
